prk888 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Robinpattaya newbie ................. this informative thread has been going for over 3 years - hardly obsessive in my view. Threads such as this i find useful even having been here for over 15 years. But i do agree many of TV OP's seem to have no lives nor brains but such is life!

Ulysses G. Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Eat local food, it won't kill you and who knows, you may even enjoy it. You are a newbie indeed. Wait until you have been eating Thai food every day for a few decades and you might want a change once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardholder Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have been to the Jolly Friar a few times and have always enjoyed. A buddy of mine speaks very highly of Goose's on 2nd Road. I also went to The Village Chippy and had a nice meal. This post pretty much sums up fish and chips in Pattaya. Despite what Robin the long-time newbie says there are some very passable substututes for 'home' fish and chips. They also make a welcome change from Thai food which can become extremely monotonous. Darrel is right - up to you what you eat and when. It is hardly necessary to take a jumped up approach based on a negative view to this food/thread. My grandmother used to say - "if you have nothing constructive to say, don't say anything". RobinPattaya has obviously never met my grandmother.

Rimmer Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Argumentative posts removed from view. A lot of people take their fish and chips very seriously indeed and we don't want to get into an argument about F & C vs Local food do we as that would be off topic wouldn't it?

Spaniel Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I was in Pattaya the past week and for the first time stopped by Goose's for lunch. Had the small F & C (dory) and thought it very good. A nice touch is the bread and choice of peas for B120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Conners Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If you are a fish and chips lover you have to try the new 'Lakeside Chippy' on lake Mabprachan. I know it is a bit of a drive out of town but it is well worth the effort - the fish and chips are fantastic. Ok, I'll bite ... Lake Mabprachan is a large area, whereabouts is it? Price? More details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kananga Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Stepped into the JF in Jomtien on the weekend. Food was ok, but the service was diabolical. Even by Thai standards. Ambience was destroyed by the massive TV in the corner showing Thai soap at ridiculous volume. They also put cheap ketchup in Heinz bottles. Not the world's greatest crime but makes you wonder where else corners are cut. Wont be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazk Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Like with so many things in this town, home cooking is the answer! Imported frozen cod and frozen chips are probably going to beat the locally produced version every time. My local Tops daily has packets of frozen chips for 99B that look quite tempting. But even so the Chinese ought to be able to grow decent spuds for chips: they have the climate. we use chinese " super potatoes " from macro, they are good all rounder, takes work to make a good chip but im not giving away my secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2004 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 For value for money and quality i think it is impossible to beat the "Jolly Friar". They have a shop on Soi Lengee Pattaya and in Jomtien (near the Beach Police Box). I usually get their "small" fish and chips which is only 100 baht. But to me it is more than enough, i am stuffed after eating it. The fish is lovely and comes with chunky chips. Never had a bad one and less than half the price of "Simons' up the road.

sedge Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Sadly the Village Chippy seems to be on a downward spiral ... we ate there on a regular basis, and last week the bread and butter we ordered was of the cheap, soggy variety you get from a 7/11 or similar . Two slices, 45 baht. Thinking it a one off, we ordered again today - same cheap white bread rather than the big, thick slices they used before and to cap it all they served frozen crinkle cut chips. Sorry but our custom will now go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShockMaster Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just back from Goose's. I'll sum it up the best way a Scottish chippy eating champion can... it was 5hit. I got the 3 battered sausages and chips, my gf got the cod and chips. We both had approx 8 chips each and twice as much batter to sausage/fish ratio. Clearly owned by someone who rarely visits chippy's when back in the UK. Advertising itself as a Genuine British Chippy is nonsense. I was expecting at least a deep fat fryer counter but it was a bog standard (albeit clean) restaurant with photo's of South End pier on the walls. All in all, we won't be going back.

Reluctantly gave up there several months ago, curry sauce was good, thats about the only posative thing i can say, dont know why it changed so quickly and for the worse.
